Pictures from a snowstorm







It's snowing at a rate of about three inches an hour--a ruler we have on our porch just topped 14 inches.

Our road isn't plowed yet:



Can you make out the mail truck?



The woods are lovely, dark, and deep





Pickup truck driver clears his windshield



In the time I've taken writing this, it's now at 15 inches.

ETA: 16 inches and still falling:

Ugh. "Observe the snow. It fornicates."

Sounds like Thor's bowling.

Wow! Those photos are both beautiful and ominous. I especially like the one with the little creek. We keep getting missed -- the forecast will say "5 to 8 inches" and then the next time I look it's *3 to 5" and then it's "<1 inch" and then it's "overcast." I don't really want to shovel a lot of snow, but am starting to worry about whether we are even getting enough moisture this winter and whether plants have enough cover from frost heaves.

But there is nothing like the light and the glint of fast-falling snow, and it's already February.

Don't you guys do yourselves a mischief moving all that stuff.

Oooooooh, yes!

When I move back to France, come winter, I will have a snow icon! :D

I love the snow drifting onto the ice of the creek.

Thank you for these photos!

I wanted to say too how much I liked the phrase: lovely, dark and deep. And silent. Beautiful. A good excuse to hibernate if you can.

Oh, lovely and cold and amazing! Yes, I could make out the mail-truck. :) Can you just stay at home today? For several days? I guess that all won't clear in a hurry.

If you are someplace safe in a snowstorm, it feels like a lovely little vacation from life. (Beautiful pics!)

Beautiful.

For a moment I thought the ruler was a tiny, tiny door. A faerie portal door.

Your creek is really something! And the snow is so lovely, deep and thick and pillowy. It snowed for days here too, when im told it's hardly snowed in a decade, but we got maybe eight inches at this elevation. And then it warmed up and rained really hard for a couple days, so that was the end of that. Not too much shovelling for us thankfully.
